While OCZ and Corsair today announced the immediate transition to NAND flash memory chips for SSDs built with 25nm technology, to replace those products with the current 34nm process, Mushkin has decided to wait. The Denver company has now confirmed that the transition to 25nm brings more disadvantages than advantages.
The problems of interaction between the new chip to 25nm NAND flash controllers and the current force manufacturers to reduce the effective storage capacity and above the lower number of cycles of write / erase per cell durability and reliability of eroding SSDs . Mushkin has chosen to pursue a policy of complete transparency for the consumer and this will continue to only offer SSDs with 34nm chip while awaiting the resolution of problems at 25nm.
"While the reduction process to 25nm Reduces cost for Both Consumers and manufacturers, there are drawbacks intrinsic to the 25nm Which Give Rise to Problems That Have not Been solved yet. Because of the Manner in Which 25nm NAND chips interact with controllers, capacity is noticeably reduced.
In Addition, 25nm Chips to Have fewer available program erase cycles, thereby Reducing endurance of SSDs with 25nm NAND. "The full statement is available here.
